Talking Well my wheels are finally on!! WOOHOO!

Just had them put on Friday. Oh and yes, they are high-disk.

Here's a pic of my tires



Here's a shot of the 285's from the rear...SO FAT....my car looks so wicked from the rear!


From the side!!!


Well as you can see I'm very happy with the results. Next step - 'Dumpage', gotta drop the car just a wee bit more. Right now it's sittin' on Eibach Pros. Probably gonna go with HKS LS coilovers in the near future!

Seize,
Nice wheels. Do you have a custom exhaust with the stock mufflers?

Look awesome. What's the offset up front? Look like you don't have much room for a big brake upgrade

Seize,

Looking good, I'm glad to see eveything worked out for ya, I remember the photoshop you showed me about 4 months ago!!

Seems like you did skinny up front (245) and fat out back (285), any particular reason?

That looks great! Don't see many 1st gen GS's hooked up as nice as yours. So, is that a brushed aluminum finish with clearcoat? How deep is the rear lip?

Seize, damn, that looks HELLA NICE! Some coilovers and you'll be all good! Are you gonna tuck the rear? Body kit anytime soon?

Rico (where are you??), you need some 20" iForged wheels in the same finish!!

JacobT - High disk fitments are completely do-able but with 3-piece wheels, there some limitations due to the fact that the outer lips are SET sizes...so you have to futz with the offset and sometimes, it makes the offsets too high...that's one of the reasons why I went with 2-piece. It's more customizable than the 3-piece...I fit my AP Racing brakes on there (if not "the" largest, definitely one of the largest calipers out there for Lexus cars) and still had a decent lip (bigger than before) with a LOWER offset then I had before. I went lower to give me better fender clearance for when I turn my wheel...
